A young man who wanted to buy some pretty Jewelry for his best girl’s Christmas dropped into one of the John street jewelry shops the other day. He selected a handsome bracelet which cost $40. He didn’t happen to have so much money with him and told the man who waited on him to put it aside for him and he would call for it later in the day. He noticed as he spoke that the man was sigutly “uncomforiabie, and "ho" thought uncom! 2 tho flashed across his mind that the man did Sot TInt ‘cappooe’ sum don't Gs $0 ae Guat ontt ot “T su; ou don't lil lo of thing,” ‘le said, “but I will come for it surely, I will leave a deposit if you prefer.” ‘The man smiled and shook his head. “Oh, no,” he said, “I wasn't thinking of that af al’ I vas just going to sy to You that there is no need of your coming downtagain. write out a check for the amount"aed take the bracelet along with you, or, if you ptefer, I will send it to your address, He took’ blank check from a drawer and handed it to the customer, together with apen. ‘The customer was amazed. “Why, how do you know that my check will be good for anything?” he asked. “You never “T know,” said the man quietly, ‘but that is the way we do business.

A new process of cremation and mummifying has been proposed in France, based upon the well-known and successful experiments in plat- ing with copper or other metals, by means of electrolysis, the most delicate tissues of grasses, leaves and skins. Atthe Paris exhibition of 1881 « beautiful variety of objects thus metal- lized was shown, and at that date an English wri‘er suggested, half humorously, that the Process might in'the future be employed for proverving the lineaments of the dead wi closing their remains, by way of @ modern improvement on the ancient Egyptian mummy. ¢ Frenchmen have apparently taken this idea au sericux and as an experiment have actually plated a dead child. The result is a perfect faithful statue of the subject, truer life than any sculptor could hope to achieve. The metallic shell isstrong enough to withstand shocks. To receive the electroplating of cop- per. aluminium or gold, as the case may be, the skin is prepared by a bath of nitrate of r, and the silver reduced upon it by the vayorof phosphorus, ‘There are also various other ways of providing the necessary “elec- trode” on which to deposit the coating It has been objected that the gases of decom- position might burst the metallic shell, but it is roposed to overcome this Ly cremating the body inside the shell, while leaving a vest for the gases. The ashes might be allowed to re- main inside the metal covering, which would thus become a cinerary urn and mummy case, a reliquary and a statue of the dead person all in one, capable of being preserved in the house or mausoleum to remote antiquity. ‘The auces- tral portrait gallery might in fact become a collection of statues as faithful to life as the photograph and more durable than the wood or porphyry of the Pharoahs. ——o-—____ “Religious Feeling” at Oxford.
